Re: APM vs ACPI
If you're going to do that you'll need to get ACPID and set it up in place of APMD. Otherwise ACPI isn't going to do much for you. There may also be kernel patches involved. ACPI has been under very heavy development as it is one of the subsystems being enhanced in 2.5.x. http://acpid.sourceforge.net/ Seemed like a good place to start, though it's a bit thin on documentation.

Are they two exclusive methods of controling shutdown, etc. or is ACPI an advanced version of APM? When I build a kernel can I specify both or do I choose one? Well, here is the difference between the two (At least as I understand it): APM is a a BIOS-based scheme of system power management. It provides CPU and device power management and uses device activity timeouts to determine when to transition devices to low power states. However, APM falls short: 1.) Every BIOS has its own power management scheme. There is no consistancy between manufacturers. Each BIOS developer must refine and maintain their own APM BIOS code and functionality. 2.) The reason for a suspend is never known. 3.) The BIOS is unaware what the user is doing. Ultimately, the BIOS makes a mess of everything. 4.) The BIOS knows nothing about USB devices, add-in cards and IEEE 1394 devices. ACPI was developed to overcome the deficiencies in APM. ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is an open industry specification. ACPI evolves the existing collection of power management BIOS code, Advanced Power Management (APM) application programming interfaces (APIs, PNPBIOS APIs, Multiprocessor Specification (MPS) tables and so on into a well-defined power management and configuration interface specification. The specification enables new power management technology to evolve independently in operating systems and hardware while ensuring that they continue to work together. Unlike APM, ACPI allows the Operating System (instead of the BIOS) to control Power Management (OSPM). The support code provided by the BIOS is not written in the native assembly language of the platform but in AML (ACPI Machine Language). The BIOS does not determine the policies or time-outs for power management or resource management. There are 4 device states under APM: Enabled, Standby, Suspend and Off. ACPI's device states are extended, with 4 major global states: Working (S0), Sleeping (S1-S3), Soft-Off (S4), and Mechanical-Off (S5). Sleeping is further broken down into 3 substates.The ACPI BIOS tables define what these states mean for individual devices, and the operating system determines when to move a device, or even the entire system, from one state to another. The ACPI-compatible OS mainly acts as a swap manager that swap the computer to different state based on the information collected. A transition from one state to another is first started with the OSPM system code which instructs the OS kernel for the specific state transition. After the kernel receives the instruction, it asks the appropriate device driver to perform the operation. Response from the operation will be passed back to the OSPM from the kernel. This process will proceed in hierarchical order until all devices and components reach a specified state. There is more, but the above info is probably enough... Best Peck -- Brett I.

The filesystem can deadlock if someone runs `mount -o remount' while the filesystem is under load. Everything which writes to that filesystem gets stuck in `D' state. This is because: a) ext3_sync_fs() has to wait until a transaction has finished. b) a transaction cannot finish when someone else holds lock_super(). Because lock_super() is used in the block allocator. The patch ensures that -sync_fs is never run under lock_super().

Xfree CVS and Qt issues...
Anyone here playing with the Xfree CVS sources? I've got version 4.2.99.2 dated december 17. I've got it here, compiles no problems and it runs very fast... The only hitch I have is compiling QT. During make, the compile terminates with complaints of parsing problems... Xft.h. I've been to both the QT and Xfree mailing lists and it seems there's been a code change in the Xft portion of the Xfree CVS tree and it kills compiling any version of QT. I'm not clear why there has to be an Xft2... but I read that it's progress right? I've found a hacked way of getting QT to compile, but I was wondering if anyone has found an elegant way of doing it. What I do is compile xfree from CVS and install it. I then delete the files in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft and replace them with copies from xfree version 4.2.0. I then grab /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.0 and overlay it in the target system. I then symlink /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so to /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.0 All this does is backlevel Xft in the CVS code to the ones distributed in 4.2.0. Once done, QT any version will compile without problems. One small question before I go... is there a definitive list of options that explains what's available for xfree compiling? I've picked up some tips from Doug Hunley and use some of them in my host.def file. But what I'm looking for is the one to turn off xinerama and whatever else may be available for getting more performance out of xfree. -- ** Registered Linux User Number 185956 http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=ensafe=offgroup=linux Join me in chat at #linux-users on irc.freenode.net 1:17am up 28 days, 2:58, 10 users, load average: 0.89, 0.99, 1.00 ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

In a terminal as root type: tail -f /var/log/messages Then hook up the camera to the usb port, and turn it on. See what message result. It may give you some clue as to a device. If not, as root in a different xterm, try mkdir /mnt/camera then mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera This *might* work. See what messages result. The following applies to my fuji 3800. cd /mnt/camera shows a directory structure where my pictures are located, so I cd /mnt/camera/*/* and there are the pictures. I use the following script to transfer them to my hard drive.

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 USB
Hi Joel! You can mount the camera using the USB file system that is now standard fair in all Linux distro's. I do it all the time with a Fuji FinePix as well as a Nikon CoolPix 2500 (Just like you have...). Once the camera is mounted (Should mount as /mnt/camera for security), you can use a GUI file manager to browse/move/delete images. As a matter of fact, you can do anything in the camera's memory (Which is what is mounted as a file system) that you can do in a normal file system. In a pinch, I've used my camera to move binary files between machines. Imagine.

One other thing: In the event you want a great photo printer, get an HP PhotoSmart 7350. The things are slick and work *great* in Linux (HP wrote the driver that is used in Linux) and all features are supported. The photo's that you can print are, in my opinion, excellent. Further, when just printing documents (StarOffice or whatever), the printer is as fast as sh!t through a goose.

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 USB
I am using a lexmarkz53. Its driver was written by lexmark, and seems to work well. I was having a problem with getting good photo prints, though. I took a sample to BestBuy, where most weekends a guy from Lexmark is in the printer section. He's an older guy who seems to really know these printers. This is a refreshing change from the usual store clerk. Anyway, he diagnosed my problem as a bad color cartridge (made by lexmark), and I replaced it and now all if fine, so far.

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 USB
I have taken about 20 pictures in the house tonight, in fairly low light. This camera is great. If you send me your email I address, I will send a couple of examples to you. The default (maybe the highest quality, don't know yet) is a 400,000 byte jpg file. They look really nice on my monitor (fills it up). This camera seems to work fine with linux. I can upload the photos out of the camera without difficulty. IT WORKS! Joel On Sat, Dec 21, 2002 at 05:16:47PM -0600, Bill Day wrote: off subject of your topic..
